Pronounced Fay-ruh. Thoughts needed.

I thought it would be pronounced fair or fire.

I think it is a really nice name but it will be mispronounced and misspelled a lot.

merlotqueen · 17/08/2019 00:52

Oh Jesus, no.

Astronica · 17/08/2019 00:51

A new one for me and I quite like it.

MollyHuaCha · 16/08/2019 23:40

Just no.

Cinammoncake · 16/08/2019 23:19

No it's awful. Plus he/she has got to then say 'it's pronounced fay ruh' for the rest of its life.

IsobelRae23 · 16/08/2019 22:05

Brewers Fayre for me too. Def a no.

Bluebellssnowbells · 16/08/2019 17:10

I like the pronunciation of it but I hate the way it’s spelled.
I assumed it was said like ‘fire’ until I read the pronunciation.
I thought of the Fyre Festival
And Brewer’s Fayre

@marmitelover84 yep, that’s the series Smile I enjoyed it more than I thought I should!

(Still not overly keen on the name though but that’s just my opinion. I’m sure plenty of people don’t like the names I do either!)

Greensleeves · 15/08/2019 17:31

It's foul.

TheYeaSayer · 15/08/2019 17:30

Don't like it, sorry.

MindyStClaire · 15/08/2019 16:32

Makes me think of a Summer Fayre.

AverageMummy · 15/08/2019 16:16

Looks like Freya misspelled

strawberrypenguin · 15/08/2019 16:14

Sorry, I wouldn't know how to pronounce it.

AmyCorn · 15/08/2019 16:11

I've heard of the name Freya which I think is a Nordic name for a queen. Both lovely name ideas though.

diddlediddle · 15/08/2019 16:08

No way. No one will be able to pronounce it. Also, it's not a nice name.

Faye, Freya?

NoSauce · 15/08/2019 14:24

Farah?

AllyBamma · 15/08/2019 14:21

Lovely!

user1493494961 · 15/08/2019 14:20

Awful.

Frith2013 · 15/08/2019 14:19

Like Phaedra if you have a speech impediment.

Awful.

BuzzShitbagBobbly · 15/08/2019 14:19

Reminds me of the German word for Fire - Feuer

Pronounced like Vera with an F? Never heard of it and not keen, will have pronunciation and spelling problems evrrytime you/she gives her name

Apolloanddaphne · 15/08/2019 11:52

I would pronounce that Fair. Looks like a misspelling of fayre

pikapikachu · 15/08/2019 11:45

Just seen it's not eye in the middle. I still see Fire sorry.

pikapikachu · 15/08/2019 11:44

I'm English and would assume that the name sounds like Fire. Eye= 👁 . Fire is a good name for a superhero rather than a child. I think you'd also have people mistake it for the more popular Freya.

Faye is a good name.
